Scrapbooking our WLS Journey

[SpecialK 22]

Hi. I am getting ready to help host a scrapbooking presentation in our hospital's bariatric support group meeting in January. I've been doing searching on the internet for different funny weight loss jokes, inspirational sayings for weight loss, etc. I thought it might be fun if we share material to use in our scrapbooks.

Here's some ideas to get started:

1. Christmas cards - cut out various design components from last year's old cards (if you keep them until the next year so you know who to send cards to again). You can find all kinds of pretty inspirational scenes and funny things too. One of my before pictures was in a Snoopy Christmas T-shirt so I'm going to see if I can find some Charlie Brown, Snoopy things to dress up my scrapbook page.

2. PowerPoint from Microsoft Office is a really powerful tool to help do lettering in different sizes, fonts. There is a whole library of free clip-art images that comes with the basic package of MS Office but you can go out to www.microsoft.com and download additional free clip-art images. You can do the same idea with MS Word if you are comfortable with that more.

Okay, as you think of ideas to add and share, copy the last person's post and add the next numbered item so we can keep the list going.

I know I never want to forget the journey that has brought me from severe morbid obesity to a normal and healthier life.

:rolleyes2:
